Summary

Abstract: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Socio-Economic Baseline Dataset consists of population, human development, economic, water resources, land cover, land use, agriculture, food, energy and biodiversity data . This dataset was collated by IPCC from a variety of sources such as The World Bank, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and is distributed by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).

The data in Microsoft Excel (XLS) and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) formats are available from the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC).

Purpose: To provide a baseline dataset for the evaluation of climate change impact.

Quality The MLS NRT data are not as accurate as the retrievals that constitute the standard MLS products, but nevertheless the results are of scientific use and track the standard MLS products with reasonable fidelity. Zonal mean differences between the NRT and standard product v3.3 results are typically within 5 to 10% for pressures between 68 and 0.2 hPa. Comparisons between the two sets of stratospheric retrievals over many days reveal significant differences mostly for pressures of 100 hPa and larger.
